Quotes 

• Dean Winchester : C'mon, let's just pick this up in the morning, all right? Check out the house, we'll talk to the family...

  Sam Winchester : Dean, you saw them, they're devastated. They're not gonna want to talk to us.

  Dean Winchester : Yeah, you're right. But I think I know who they will talk to.

  Sam Winchester : Who?

  [cut to them ringing the doorbell, dressed as priests] 

  Sam Winchester : This has got to be a whole new low for us.

• Sam Winchester : Well, I know one thing I have in common with these people.

  Dean Winchester : What's that?

  Sam Winchester : Both our families are cursed.

  Dean Winchester : Our family's not cursed! We just... had our dark spots.

  Sam Winchester : [laughing]  Our dark spots are *pretty* dark.

  Dean Winchester : You're... dark.

• Alice Miller : It was wonderful of you to stop by. The support of the church means so much right now.

  Dean Winchester : Of course, after all, we are all God's children.

  [Alice walks off, Dean crams an hors d'oeuvre in his mouth; Sam makes an exasperated sound] 

  Dean Winchester : What?

  Sam Winchester : Just, tone it down a little bit? "Father"?

• Sam Winchester : [last lines]  Aren't you worried, man, aren't you worried that I could turn into Max or something?

  Dean Winchester : Nope. No way. You know why?

  Sam Winchester : No. Why?

  Dean Winchester : Cause you got one advantage that Max didn't have.

  Sam Winchester : Dad? Because Dad's not here, Dean.

  Dean Winchester : No. Me.

  [He smiles] 

  Dean Winchester : As long as I'm around, nothing bad is gonna happen to you. Now then, I know what we need to do about your premonitions. I know where we have to go.

  Sam Winchester : Where?

  Dean Winchester : Vegas.

  [He smiles. Sam scoffs] 

  Dean Winchester : What? Come on, man. Craps table? We'd clean up.

• Dean Winchester : Maybe the guy just killed himself. You know, maybe there's nothing supernatural going on at all.

  Sam Winchester : I'm telling you, I watched it happen. He was *murdered* by something, Dean. It trapped him in the garage.

  Dean Winchester : Like what, a spirit, a poltergeist, what?

  Sam Winchester : I don't know what it was. I don't know why I'm having these dreams, I don't know what the hell is happening, Dean!

  [pause] 

  Sam Winchester : What?

  Dean Winchester : Nothing, man, I'm just, I'm worried about you.

  Sam Winchester : Well don't look at me like that!

  Dean Winchester : I'm not looking at you like anything. Though I gotta say, you look like crap.

  Dean Winchester : Nice. Thanks.

  Sam Winchester : Yeah, well.

• Sam Winchester : If I'd just said something else. Gotten through to him somehow.

  Dean Winchester : Don't do that.

  Sam Winchester : Do what?

  Dean Winchester : Torture yourself. It wouldn't have mattered what you said, Max was too far gone.

  Sam Winchester : When I think about how he looked at me man, right before... I should've done something.

  Dean Winchester : C'mon man, you risked your life! I mean yeah, maybe if we'd gotten there twenty years earlier.

  Sam Winchester : Well, I'll tell you one thing. We're lucky we had Dad.

  Dean Winchester : [surprised]  Well I never thought I'd hear you say that.

  Sam Winchester : Well, he could've gone a whole other way after Mom. A little more tequila, a little less demon hunting, and we would've had Max's childhood. All things considered, we turned out okay. Thanks to him.

  Dean Winchester : [nods]  All things considered.

• Dean Winchester : [Sternly, after Sam tells Dean to leave him alone with a gunman so he can talk to him]  I am not leaving you alone with him, Sam.

• Sam Winchester : We're not gonna kill Max.

  Dean Winchester : Then what? I hand him over to the cops and say "lock him up officer, he kills with the power of his mind!"

  Sam Winchester : Forget it! No way man.

  Dean Winchester : Sam...

  Sam Winchester : Dean! He's a *person*. We can talk to him! Hey, promise me you'll follow my lead on this one.

  Dean Winchester : All right fine. But I'm not lettin' him hurt anybody else.

  [he pulls a gun from the glove compartment] 

• Sam Winchester : Dean I'm scared, man. These nightmares weren't bad enough, now I'm seeing things when I'm awake? And these... visions, or whatever, they're getting more intense. And painful.

  Dean Winchester : C'mon man, it'll be all right. You'll be fine.

  Sam Winchester : What is it about the Millers? Why am I connected to them? Why am I watching them *die*? Why the hell is this happening to me?

  Dean Winchester : I don't know Sam, but we'll figure it out, okay? We face the unexplainable every single day, this is just another thing.

  Sam Winchester : No. It's never been *us*. It's never been in the family like this! Tell me the truth, you can't tell me this doesn't freak you out.

  [pause] 

  Dean Winchester : [unconvincing]  This doesn't freak me out.

• Sam Winchester : We were just wondering if you might recall a family, they used to live right across the street.

  Dean Winchester : Yeah, the Millers, they had a little boy named Max.

  Sam Winchester : Right.

  Neighbor Man : Yeah, I remember. The brother had the place next door. So uh, what's this about? That poor kid okay?

  Sam Winchester : What do you mean?

  Neighbor Man : Well in my life I've never seen a child treated like that. I mean I'd hear Mr. Miller yellin' and throwin' things clear across the street, he was, he was a mean drunk. He used to beat the tar outta Max. Bruises. Broke his arm two times that I know of.

  Sam Winchester : And this was going on regularly?

  Neighbor Man : Practically every day. In fact, that thug brother of his was just as likely to take a swing at the boy, but the worst part, was the stepmother. She'd just... stand there, checked out, never lifted a finger to protect him. I must've called the police seven or eight times, never did any good.

  Dean Winchester : Now you said stepmother.

  Neighbor Man : I think his real mom died, some sort of accident, car accident, I think.

• Sam Winchester : Max is doing it. Everything I've been seeing.

  Dean Winchester : You sure about this?

  Sam Winchester : Yeah, I saw him.

  Dean Winchester : How's he pullin' it off?

  Dean Winchester : I dunno, looked like telekinesis?

  Sam Winchester : So he's psychic, you mean he's a, a spoon-bender?

  Sam Winchester : I didn't even realize it, but this whole time he was there, he was outside of the garage when his Dad died, he was in the apartment when his uncle died... These visions, this whole time, I wasn't connecting to the Millers, I was connecting to Max. The thing I don't get is why, man? I guess... because we're so alike?

  Dean Winchester : What're you talking about? Dude's nothing like you.

  Sam Winchester : Well, we both have psychic abilities, we're both...

  Dean Winchester : Both what? Sam, Max is a monster, he's already killed two people and now he's gunning for a third!

  Sam Winchester : Well with what he went through, the beatings, to want revenge on those people, I'm sorry man, I hate to say it but it's not that insane.

  Dean Winchester : Yeah, but it doesn't justify murdering your entire family.

  Sam Winchester : Dean...

  Dean Winchester : He's no different than anything else we've hunted! All right? We gotta end him.

• [Max is threatening Alice with the gun] 

  Alice Miller : Max, no.

  [Dean moves to protect Alice] 

  Max Miller : [to Dean]  Stay back. It's not about you.

  Dean Winchester : You're gonna kill her, you gotta go through me first.

  Max Miller : Okay.

  [he cocks the gun; Sam bursts in] 

  Sam Winchester : No don't! Don't! Please! Please, Max. Max, we can help you. All right? But this, what you're doing, it's not the solution. It's not gonna fix anything.

  [pause] 

  Max Miller : [quietly]  You're right.

  [He swings the gun around and shoots himself in the head] 

  Sam Winchester : No!

• Sam Winchester : Dean, I been thinkin'.

  Dean Winchester : Oh, that's never a good thing.

  Sam Winchester : I'm serious. I been thinkin': why would this demon, whatever it is, why would it kill Mom and Jessica and Max's mother? You know, what does it want?

  Dean Winchester : No idea.

  Sam Winchester : Well, you think maybe it, it was after us? After Max and me?

  Dean Winchester : Why would you think that?

  Sam Winchester : I mean, either telekinesis or premonitions, we both had abilities, you know? Maybe, maybe it was after us for some reason.

  Dean Winchester : Sam, if it wanted you it would've just taken you. Okay? This is not your fault. It's not about you.

  Sam Winchester : Then what is it about?

  Dean Winchester : It's about that damn thing that did this to our family. The thing that we're gonna find, the thing that we're gonna kill. And that's all.

  Sam Winchester : Actually there's uh... something else too.

  Dean Winchester : Oh jeez, what?

  Sam Winchester : When Max locked me in that closet, that big cabinet against the door... I moved it.

  Dean Winchester : Huh. You got a little more upper body strength than I gave you credit for!

  Sam Winchester : No man, I *moved* it. Like... Max.

  Dean Winchester : [slightly freaked]  Oh. Right.

  Sam Winchester : Yeah.

  Dean Winchester : [holding out a spoon]  Bend this.

• Sam Winchester : how far away?

  Dean Winchester : from saginaw?

  Sam Winchester : yeah.

  Dean Winchester : a couple hours.

  Sam Winchester : drive faster.
